Mid-Week Break

Moshie Moshie is always taking me out, always giving me passes, inviting me to some kind of show or another so last night I wanted to return the favor. I was in my office yesterday up in CT and didn't feel like traveling all the way downtown to lower Manhattan or even midtown. I know Harlem Grill started doing comedy on Wednesday nights and I wanted to check it out since Capone is hosting...that's a funny dude!

MM lives in Harlem a few blocks away from HG so it was perfect. We decide to meet there to make it easier on me and even with that...I'm still running late (I always am). I tell her to go on inside and get some seats for the show since I have no idea how the set up's gonna be in there. She doesn't say it but she's nervous about going in without me, she says she'll just wait outside till I come. I never date other nationalities but black women so sometimes her behavior completely catches me off-guard. We get inside and I tease her about it as we are sitted then she admits she wasnt sure how "people" would react to her and wanted me to be there. I'm thinking to myself...wait a minute!! You LIVE in Harlem. What the hell are you talking about? But after we sat and as we ordered I started seeing evidence that she just maybe right....

The place was full to the rim but there were maybe 5 guys including me in the audience. There was some really nice chicks there too and here I am with a Japanese chick. I got some stares that for the first time in my life I didn't quite recognize. Then I started thinking, here I am in Harlem, in this black owned spot, getting ready to listen to black comedy with an Asian chick on my arm in my cuff-links and suit & tie to boot (a nigga did look good though, lol). The feeling was only with me for a minute or two but I did have to acknowledge it was "in the air". After that feeling past, we had a great dinner and Capone was funny as hell, most of the comics were too. I've always liked that spot, Imma have to go back more often. Afterwards I was thinking how my apartment was since I never stopped home first because I thought she'd wanna come back with me. (sidebar-All jokes aside, I really lucked out in the fact that NYL & MM have long brunette white girly type of hair and exactly alike. Their hair is always all over my apartment, they both shed like goddamn cats)

Thank god we were both tired and it didnt take much convincing that I was just taking her home especially since she was literally 3 or 4 blocks away. I dropped MM off and came home. Just out of curiosity looked around my apartment in case she would have came over.....

Of course, coincidently it was spotless (which is rare)....just my luck. Damn!!!
